Hi sorry for being a nOOb and creating a topic as my first post but I have a big problem
I own a 2 channel triple rectifier which i bought second hand from the US and have used in Ireland (220v same frequency as UK) with a 300w step down transformer perfectly for about 10 years.
Now I am selling the amp and I brought it to a potential buyer for a trial and before I had a chance to plug in the transformer he plugged in a europeand lead and without the amp being turned on a spark flew and the house electricity tripped. Then I plugged the amp into the transformer and it blew the built in fuse in the transformer, i tried new fuses but same result. Then I brought the mesa fuse from the amp into maplan (UK electronic store) they said there is nothing wrong with the fuse most likely the amp.
Does anyone know the damage this could have caused the amp? and is it repairable? or is it completely F'ed?
Long story short I think the guy has burned the inside of my amp. There is no visible damage to the outside and the fuse was never blown.
